I love my dog. He's half horse, half dog. He will jump the fence if we forget to let him in and go out for a bit, only to sit in the front yard and wait for us to return. He mostly just lays around, or comes to check out what food we're making, or sticks his face in ours cause he wants to be petted. And he barks every time there is a human being (or dog or cat) in a 25-yard radius from our house, because of course, somebody is out there wanting to visit with him, and he has to let them know he's here!

He's got a bitch of an itchy skin situation going on right now (it's not related to fleas or other bugs), and I found out today that olive oil sprinkled on their dog food a couple times a week is a very good remedy for that. Gonna try it and see what happens. Poor chap. I hate having dry, itchy skin.

Same guy who decided abbreviation was an appropriate word for it's meaning.

I often wondered how people remember the spelling of mnemonic. And how you plant seedless grapes.

24 August 2013 - I've decided to take a break from a number of internet forums, including this one, for my own reasons.
I expect to be back at some time in the future, although at present don't know when that will be.
I've been here just a few days shy of six years, and those six years have been greatly blessed.

1Jn 4:1 NKJV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1Th 5:21-22 NKJV Test all things; hold fast what is good. (22) Abstain from every form of evil.

"People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; We drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; We drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated?" - D A Carson

I had a dog like that once...the vet said she was allergic to grass! Bendrile helps alot with that but check with your vet first...

I realize that this is a light hearted thread but there are a few posts here that are sound quite rude. Please remember that though we are joking around please do not be insulting. It is not an attitude we should be exhibiting. Thank you.
